Meet Robert Cole. He’s a (suspected) burglar from Tulsa, Okla.

On Wednesday morning, Cole set his plan to break into an area home into motion. However, things didn’t go according to plan.

While attempting to break into the home, Cole was “bum-rushed” by the homeowner. The homeowner, who was described as a “superhero” by his wife, then hogtied the suspected burglar, left him in the front yard for police and went to work.

“As soon as Cole was tied up, Houston said her husband turned to her and said he had to leave, had to go work. That’s why we couldn’t talk to him today,” KWTV-TV adds.

“That’s just the type of person he is, you know? That’s just the type of person he is. Business is business. ‘I got to take care of business, he’s safe, the police are coming, I got to go,’” Houston said.

Houston also said her husband, who works with horses and knows his way around a rope, just nodded his head like “what’s done is done.”

Cole now faces one charge of first degree burglary. He is being held at the Tulsa County jail on a $32,079 bond.

He was apparently on drugs and thought he was actually in Jenks, Okla., police said.
